NBR – they aren’t critics & BFCA – they are all about predicting the Oscars

NBR – The Silver Linings Playbook for picture, actress and adapted screenplayLes Miserables for supporting actress, ensemble cast and production designThe Master is the favorite for best actor (Phoenix), but he could easily lose here, so I’d say John Hawkes! Lincoln for best supporting actor Ben Affleck for best directingMoonrise Kingdom for original screenplayAmour for foreign language film

Here’s my thinking – even though Argo is, without a doubt, the front-runner for Best Picture at the Oscars, the critics (LA + NY, at least) will probably go for something that needs a bit of a boost. Right now, I’m feeling The Master at LA and Amour or Silver Linings Playbook at NY.

Best Youth Performance:Jared Gilman (Moonrise Kingdom)Kara Hayward (Moonrise Kingdom)Tom Holland (The Impossible)Logan Lerman (The Perks of Being a Wallflower)Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild)

Like I mentioned in the thread about suggestions relating to the site, if there’s anyway to do it before nominations, Judi Dench and Javier Bardem should be added to the predix center in the supporting categories for Critics Movie Award. Both have solid chances of being noticed here.
